Topic: Glass Decanter (Read 775 times)

Was going to garage sale a whole heap of stuff just lying around that we don't really use or display, when my husband said I couldn't get rid of this decanter because he liked it.I picked it up and said but you only bought it from a garage sale any way for $5.00He says " yes but I thought it might have been something special, it has a signature".

Sure enough it does. It is signed on the bottom " Nuutajarvi Notsjo 1963"It's a decanter that is smokey grey coloured, with buildings and words that say " Sydney in the 1840's"

Just wondering if anyone can tell me anymore about this decanter?I have to admit is is nice and maybe worth keeping after all.

You need to post some photos. [If you are having trouble look in the "Board Information, Help & Announcements" section of the GMB site which has lots of helpful hints.]

It sounds like you might be Australian. Do you recognise the street at all? I would suspect that it is a limited edition for a company that was celebrating 125 years (1963 - 1837 = 126 years). Does it show street lights?

I suspect it could be AGL (The Australian Gas Light Company (AGL) was formed in Sydney in 1837. It supplied gas for the first public lighting of a street lamp in Sydney in 1841 and was the second company to list on the Australian Stock Exchange.) because the dates are so close.

Nuutajarvi Notsjo is a Finnish firm and I have several pieces that would be from around the 60s period.
